New Transducer

I have been meaning to get back to everyone with an update. Lowrance gave me the incorrect P/N for the transducer. Once I went down to the boat, it was obvious that the one I bought wouldn't fit. I...

I have used Y10. Does a great job of removing the waterline stain with no scrubbing. You can get at most marine stores. It costs about $10.00. One container last me about 4 or 5 seasons.
